AS we finished reading an advance
copy of this book, we recalled the words
of keen observer of men: Biographies
of great, but especially of good men, are
most instructive aud useful as helps,
guides and incentives to others. Some
Of the best are almost equivalent to gos-
pels-teaching high living, high thinking
and energetic action for their own and
the worlds good" These words i'm
pressed us as having a felicitous applica-
ton to the story of the life of him whose
Memorial is before us. A great man in
mental quickness and comprehensiveness,
and in versatility of requirement; self
made in the highest and best sense, that
Of bringing to his aid all that it was pos
sible for him to obtain from schools,
books, companionship with thinkers,
eagerness to impart knowledge to and to
receive it from others, trained powers of
observation strengthened by contact with
men, nature and art, and constant
effort to do and be at his best wherever
his lot was cast, or whatever the work to
which he devoted his energies. A good
man, in his unfinching loyalty to purity
and duty, his helpfulness to others, his
Christian spirit and temper. Such man
was Sumner Ellis. The story of his life
put fairly on record must act like an in
epiration and stimulant to others. Rev.
Mr.. Moor has done we'll in bringing into
small compass the essential features of
the mortal career of his friend, and dis
eliminating and just analysis of his men
tai and spiritual powers. The Memorial
is not made up of mere details Of private
or of professional life, necessarily largely

marked by repetitions; but of compre-
henslve statements which disclose the
peculiarities of youth, student life, man
hood in it's freshness and in its ma
turity, the preachers and the pastors
plans in his several fields of labor, the
thinker in his study, the quick observer
in his travels, the scholar in his publica-
tons. The biographer has put the best
of his own mind and heart into this
record, and well deserves, and we doubt
not will receive, the commentator of the
Church for the fitting monument which
he has thus raised to one whose abilities,
character and spiritual worth were so
wholly consecrated to its service.
Quite large part of the book contains
a selection from DR.. Ellis's Sermons,
made with discriminating care by Rev.
DIR. Cantwell. They are his noblest Me-
mortal, the best commentary on, and the
best vindication of what his biographer
has said concerning him. They have
been judiciously selected, and give in
their variety satisfactory showing of the
manifold ability of the preacher. Sound
in theology, simple in arrangement, ex-
cellent in literary execution, they are
sermons which must have made a pro-
found impression as they fell from the
living lips, and will certainly prove help
full now to those who may read them.
The Memorial is embellished with an
excellent portrait of DR.. Ellis, which can
not fail to be gratifying to all who ever
knew him, and the mechanical work on
the book is of the best, and reflects great
credit on the Publishing House.

NOTES FROM LOMBARD.

REV. l.. J. DINsMoRE, one OF Lom-
bard's loyal sons, has given two courses
of lectures to the students one in the
morning to all of the students upon ma
tional themes; the other in the afternoon
to the theological students. Br Dinsmore
has made thorough work in his study
of these subjects. They were listened to
with intense interest. No doubt but
they will have telling effect upon those
who heard them. They were just what
was needed. The students will ever owe
Br. Dinsmore debt of gratitude for his
kindness. Some of the friends of the
University attended the lectures The
number constantly increased until the
last. Only few college students have
the privilege of attending such course
of lectures.
Rev. Carrie Brainard, of Girard, a
classmate of Br. Dinsmore, conducted
chapel exercises Jan. 10. She was return
ing from her home in Oneida, where she
had been called to attend the funeral Of
her father.
= The students enjoyed a pleasant
social at Prof. Grubb's residence last
Friday night.
Mr.. @. A. Garst, of the sophomore
class Of the theological department, is
engaged to preach every other Sunday
for six months at Eledo, in a Congrega-
tional church and to Congregational
audience. This does not in any way
mean that he is not strong in the faith.
-O.G Colegrove preached in Hopes
ton last Sunday.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. II. Swan attended
the Swan prize contest Jan. IA. They
also attended the annual reception of the
church and society Of this place the even
ing previous to the contest.
There has been radical change in
the music for the church services. In
stead of the chorus choir, they now
have ladies' quartet, which stands
second to none in the country.
Rev. L. j. Dinsmore occupied the
pulpit of the Galesburg church, Jan. Is,
and Rev. DR.. Crane preached in Cedar
Rapids, Iowa. Br. Dinsmore preached
nearly every night during his stay here,
at Monmouth.
We understand that our church at
Yates City is waking up again. We GER
tainly hope that they mean business.
1T has been many years since there
was such large and respectable audi
ence in the University Hall as there was
ON the night of the contest.
= That contest did more to call the
peoples attention toward Lombard than
any other way that could be devised.

asked, Where is Lombard University"

The Swan prize contest of the Fro
sophian Society took place at Lombard,
Friday evening, Jan. A. The room was
well filled by an attentive, appreciative
and cultured audience. The prizes were
two in number, the first purse of SIS,
and the second a purse OF 80 These
prizes are the gift of Mrs. Swan, OF Chica-

recited two selections, the first serious

The State v. Hamilton and Eubank.

To this time Judge Cooper has decided
the following points adversely to the
REALTORS:
l. That the judgment rendered on the
trial of the writ of hdbeas corpus before
Judge Peyton is conclusive until reversed,
of the matters tried by him.
.. That Hamilton's absence during the
proceedings before Judge Peyton did not
vitiate them.
He has decided in favor of the relator
Hamilton, that the necessity for extracting
the bullet from his arm and the danger of
serious consequences likely to result from
performing the operation in jail, are not
''the same NATTER tried by Judge Peyton
and that he has the power to grant bail in
that view of the case, if Hamilton shall
make a sufficient showing. Much expert
testimony has been heard on this point.
The most serious question yet presented
to Judge Cooper for his determination, is
involved in the proposition that he cannot
decide intelligently as to the sufficiency OF
the showing made by Hamilton touching
his right to bail, so that his arm may be
operated upon with reasonable safety,
unless he shall hear testimony and deter
mine the grade of Hamilton's offense
against the laws.

The entire programme will be presented
tomorrow Thursday night. after which
there will be a dance. A grand ball has
been announced for Friday night, but We
have heard the suggestion made, and very
generally approved, that the Kirmess be
repeated on Friday night, that the cnrtain
rise promptly at o'clock, so that the ball
might begin at IL o'clock. If this meets
the approval of the management, it il
thought large audience and handsome
additional sum would be insured. The
| additional expense would be trifing.
In next issue We may have something
further TO say of the Kirmess, and viii
transfer to our columns the observations
of some of our brethren of the press.
Those OF them who were present last night
expressed themselves highly pleased.
The success of the Kirmess al Natchez,
which was witnessed by Mrs. C. C. Camp
bell, Miss Kate Power, and few others of
of our ladies, prompted the undertaking
here. The Executive Committee of the
Monumental Association appointed Mrs.
Campbell, general manager, and how faith
fully and unti.ingly she has labored during
the past two months, the public know and
appreciate Several ladies have zealously
co operated with her, conspicuous among
whom we viii mention Mrs. z. II. Winter.
A few gentlemen also rendered valuable
assistance, especially Mr.. Luther Manship,
who planned and superintended the cree
ton of the Pavilion. But much of the
success of the Kirmess is due to the local
and State press, and to the railroads for
reduced rates and special trains. Alto
gether, the people of this city and of the
entire State have reason TO be proud of
the Kirmess. As an educational and social
enterprise it is worthy of all commenda
ton, and as a beautiful spectacle we have
never seen it excelIed on the boards of the
New York or Boston theatres.
Prof. A. J. mcdonnell, the accomplished
instructor and director, is entitled to all
the congratulations he is receiving on the
success of his efforts. His strength and
patience have been severely tested, but
have been equal to every strain. He has
been painstaking, courteous and kind, and
when he leaves Jackson he will take with
him the good wishes of the two hundred
young people whom he has instructed, and
of all others who have observed his gentle
manly and modest bearing. His contract
with the Executive Committee is ~ per
cent, of the receipts. He took his proper
ton of the risk, and we are pleased to
know that he will be handsomely compen-
stated. His next Kirmess will be at Mont
gomery, Ala.

Greens's Bank Certificates.

New YORK, Sept. 2, 1887.
Mr. J. L. Power, Receiver, Jackson, Miss.
DER SIR-When an extension of time was
last asked on Green's Banks debt, we had
no doubt whatever that the payments would
thereafter be promptly met, but the Sd in
stallment becomes due September 16, and
our efforts to provide for it have been un-
successful so far.
1 endorsed the notes to the Receiver on
the faith of certificates of stock in the
American Cotton Oil Trust, which believ
ed would rapidly advance in value, and en-
able me to make up any deficiency in the
banks collections at the maturity of the
notes, and for time was not disappointed.
The Trust stock did rise TO II cents last
winter, and as assistance was needed Dor
rowed money on the stock as collateral. In
this way borrowed $176,50o.o0, of which
the depositors received about $130,000, the
Union National Bank of New Orleans So
| 500. and the Hanover National Bank, of
New York, aboat $4,000. But in February
raid was commenced on Trust stock by
Wall street bears, and it has been steadily
| declining, until now it is quoted at 20
cents. This raid succeeded in the face of
what all interested consider a very favor
able report by the trustees in July. Ny
stock was all pledged for these loans, and
is out of my control. Hence am unable
to meet the September payment.
In paying the Hanover Banks debt re-
leased the eollaterals it held from Green's
Bank, and they are now bank assets, and
We consider them alone worth nearly the
entire amount of the balance due. They
are nearly all more or less complicated in
the courts, but with little time we expect
to have them in shape to convert inte
money.
When it suspended Green's bank owed
i about 100000. Since then it has paid il
cash and in debts due it about $4,000
with six per cent. interest, leaving a bal
ance of some $4,000 yet due to deposi
tors. So, while there are two payment
yet due, which are nominally $4,000 each
or $3.50, 900 in all, there are actually oni,
about $4,000 of certificates outstanding
and no other debts. That is, the bank ha
SO far paid about 81 per cent of its debt
with six per cent. interest, and it has asset
: which we believe can soon be made to pa
the balance; and with the indulgence OF II
creditors we hope to pay all that balane
before the last payment is due
Thecreditors cannot be more disappoln
$ | ed than am at the necessity for furths
4 delay, but we believe We have done our hes
and in the face of some very hard luck.
Respectfully, ]. =. GREEN

Useful and Hurtful Medicines.

There is certain class of remedies for
constipation absolutely useless. These are
boluses and potions made in great part oil
podophylin, aloes, rhubarb, gamboge, and
other worthless ingredients. TIE damage
they do to the stomachs of those who use
them is incalculable. They evacuate
the bowels, it is true, but always do sc
violently and profusely, and besides, gripe
the bowels. Their effect is to weaken both
them and the stomach. Better far to use
the agreeable and salutary aperient, Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, the laxative o.
which is never preceded by pain, or accom-
panied by a convulsive, violent action o
the bowels. On the contrary, it invigor
ates those organs, the stomach and the en-
tire system. As means of curing ant
preventing malarial fevers, no medicins
can compare with it, and it remedies ner
vous debility, rheumatism, kidney ant
bladder inactivity, and other inorganic all
ments.
